So we remove "Our Common Ground Statement", "Position Information" details like posting number, department, position number, percent of full-time, standard hours, term, supplemental questions, documents needed to apply. We keep substantive info: posting summary (responsibilities), education and work experience (minimum qualifications), competencies (skills/knowledge), desirable qualifications (maybe qualifications), anticipated pay range (Pay), special conditions (schedule/hybrid, probationary period, background check, FLSA exempt, union position). Also job location maybe as minor metadata. We need sections: About the role (maybe from posting summary?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have responsibilities: the posting summary bullet points. We have minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 2-4 years relevant work experience. We have competencies: knowledge of contracts and grants, regulations, ability to work independently, problem solving, organization, communication, accounting/budgeting, manage volume. We have desirable qualifications: thorough knowledge of compliance (human/animal subjects, conflict of interest, biosafety), 3 years experience in research contract and grant management, CRA designation. We could combine qualifications (education + experience) into Requirements or Qualifications. Skills could be competencies. Benefits: not explicitly stated. There's mention of hybrid schedule, probationary period, background check, FLSA exempt, union position. Those are not benefits but schedule/conditions. Benefits maybe none. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention health insurance, retirement, etc. So omit Benefits. Pay: we have Anticipated Pay Range $78,000-$83,000. Schedule: we have hybrid schedule option, standard hours 37.5 per week (maybe from Position Information but we removed that? Actually we have Standard Hours at 1.0 FTE 37.5 from Position Information; but we might consider that as schedule info. However we removed Position Information as boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate; it's specific schedule info. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Standard hours is not a job ID; it's schedule info. So we could include schedule info in Schedule section. Also hybrid schedule mentioned in Special Conditions. So we can combine. Thus we will have sections: About the role (maybe a brief overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see if we can combine some. We could have About the role (posting summary). Responsibilities could be same as About the role? Might be redundant. Better to have About the role as a brief paragraph summarizing role, and Responsibilities as list of duties. However the posting summary already lists duties; we could treat that as Responsibilities and not have About the role. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract details precisely. Responsibilities (from posting summary): - Conduct pre-award sponsored research activities required for the submission, and acceptance of sponsored activities in assigned departments. - Provide assistance to principal investigators (PIs) for tasks related to submission of sponsored proposals and award administration. - Partner with SPA’s Research Administrators (RAs) to interpret sponsor regulations and University policies for PIs and serve as primary information resource for college research administration procedures. - Partner with RAs to deliver and lead training initiatives. - Participate in on-boarding PIs with respect to their roles and responsibilities in managing sponsored projects. - Develop and lead internal and external training programs. - Serve as a mentor to junior staff. - Oversee special projects and procedure development activities. That's a list. Requirements (minimum qualifications): Bachelor’s Degree, 2-4 years relevant work experience. We could also include "Bachelor’s Degree" and "2-4 years relevant work experience". Possibly also "equivalent combination of education and experience". We'll keep that. Qualifications (desirable qualifications): Thorough knowledge in applicable compliance requirements related to use of human or animal subjects in research, financial conflict of interest, biosafety, et cetera. (if applicable) 3 years demonstrated experience in research contract and grant management Certified Research Administration (CRA) designation. We could list as bullet points. Skills (competencies): Working knowledge of contracts and grants transactions and applicable financial systems, as well as related policy requirements. Demonstrated working knowledge of applicable federal, state, local, sponsor, and institutional regulations, policies, and guidelines. Ability to work independently and as a team member, research and resolve problems, meet deadlines, and follow through on assignments with minimal direction. Independent judgment and strong organization and communication skills and customer service focus across broad and diverse subject areas. Accounting and budgeting skills in managing complex financial accounts and funds, as well as knowledge of generally accepted accounting, fiscal, and reporting principles. Ability to manage significant volume of transactions. We could break into bullet points. Pay: Anticipated Pay Range $78,000-$83,000. Schedule: Hybrid schedule option (split time between campus and elsewhere) per university telecommuting policy. Standard hours 37.5 per week (full-time). Probationary period may be required. Background check required. FLSA Exempt. Union Position Yes, UVMSU. We need to include schedule specifics. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." We have schedule info: hybrid schedule, standard hours, probationary period, background check, FLSA exempt, union position. Those are schedule/conditions. We'll include them. We should not include minor metadata like job location? Could be included in a short p if we want, but not required. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." Job location is minor metadata; we could include a short p at top maybe. But we need to output only HTML fragment; we could include a

  with location. However the instruction about sections: we should not create sections for minor metadata. So we can add a

  for location before sections. Let's decide: include a

  with "Job Location: Burlington, Vermont, United States." That's minor metadata. Now produce HTML. Structure:

  Job Location: Burlington, Vermont, United States.
